Lighning talk! Electric Clojure in 5 minutes — Systems Distributed 2024 share.descript.com/view/nJkFVXo15… #ElectricClojure
Finally watched Evan Czapliski's 2023 talk "The Economics of Programming Languages" and I have ~opinions~. The talk enumerates various problematic funding models for PLs (consulting, hosting, direct licenses, donations, adjacent product), and he concludes that he feels stuck and…
if you want to get excited about the future of full-stack web development, watch @dustingetz’ keynote on ⚡️ Electric Clojure v3 at @lambda_conf: youtu.be/QIam96cpIoI?si… along with Datomic, Rama & EACL, Electric is the most interesting tool in the Clojure ecosystem (talk starts…
UI is not going away, but UI that can be built by AI on-demand, is here to stay. This is why I’m long ⚡️ Electric Clojure + MCP-driven REPL. All my critiques of MCP still apply: we can save so much time and tokens if MCP supported Content-Type negotiation, so you don’t have to…
Eric Schmidt says traditional user interfaces are going to go away. The WIMP model (windows, icons, menus, pull-downs) was built 50 years ago. In the age of agents, UI becomes ephemeral. Generated on demand, shaped by intent, not layout.
let’s see: iphone no web browser no operating system no JVM no internet no git no (built in C) functional effect system no (implemented in Java) signals implementation no (internal mutation and lots of it) HTML no bash no cloud/AWS no clojure hell no what have i missed
You're probably using software built with FP everyday and you just don't know it
endorse and in particular would like to highlight that the FP community has delivered almost nothing of commercial value. It’s been 15 years and how do we make apps? Javascript and Postgres. React was good though, it was built in a dynamic language of course.
types, tests, standups, toolchain, Clean Code, "readability," DRY, KISS, SOLID, OOP, FP, Agile™, Pairing, Mobbing you name it. doesn't matter.
I left a successful academic career in STEM after publishing 200+ papers. I believed in science and truth but learned the system valued optics over integrity, conformity over courage. In academia, bureaucracy replaced discovery, egos replaced expertise, and silence replaced…
“Harvey isn’t some breakthrough in legal AI—it’s ChatGPT with a law costume. Lovable isn’t revolutionizing code—it’s Claude with pretty buttons.” - @rodriscoll on @twentyminutevc Not enough people talking about this.
look at the decline of fund performance over time. each year worse than the one before as the game shifts from value to fee generation
Most Venture Capital Firms are absolutely cooked. This chart is so damning for the industry. To make it clear: the 2021 VC investments are VASTLY underperforming previous years at 36 months post inception. Same with 2022. VCs lived in my dms saying 'The 2021 vintage just…
I frequently see discussions about “designing for emergence” in the interface design ∩ future of computing circles. While they usually centre around what’s adjacently possible, some great strides towards solid foundations have been made in mathematics recently.
Breakthrough insight about vibecoding: Haskell programmers believe in the concept of a function being "done". Meaning for some reasonable type signature there is only one reasonable definition, and maybe even the compiler can infer it at that point. Pilquist, in that talk i…
this is very bad for Quality investors (you and me), memestocks are coming back
This is wild: We now have a President who is actively calling for interest rates to be cut to as low as 1%. And, he is actively stating that he will be replacing Fed Chair Powell with someone who will immediately cut rates. Meanwhile, stocks are at all time highs, real estate…
GraphQL made frontend devs very happy by reassigning the complexity to backend devs vibecoding makes citizen devs very happy by reassigning the complexity to platform eng?
Yeah, its deeply unfortunate that France in particular is exporting so much skill to the US. @36Rleonoel has a large equity position in Hyperfiddle, and we want to open a French subsidiary when we can afford to. We are both motivated to create economic opportunity in France and…
